Officials from Brazil, China and India say Mr. Strauss-Kahn’s replacement should come from outside Europe, though German Chancellor Angela Merkel, leader of Europe’s biggest economy, disagrees: "In the present situation, when we have significant problems with the euro and the IMF.is very much involved there, there should be a European candidate with support from the international community. "
Dominique Strauss-Kahn became managing director in 2007. The Frenchman widely known as DSK is a member of France’s Socialist party. Before his arrest, he was considered a leading candidate for France’s presidential election next year.
